Episode 330: The New 52 Made Aquaman Badass Again Thanks To Geoff Johns!

from Under Two Capes · host Jared Liuzzi and Ladd Brown

For years, Aquaman was one of DC Comics' most misunderstood heroes, weighed down by outdated stereotypes and pop culture jokes. Then Geoff Johns completely reinvented the King of Atlantis with a critically acclaimed run that restored Arthur Curry as one of DC's greatest icons. In this video, we break down how Geoff Johns' Aquaman transformed the character, from embracing the classic jokes to rebuilding Atlantis, introducing memorable new villains like the Trench, redefining Aquaman's relationships, and reminding readers why he belongs alongside Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman as one of DC's premier heroes. We also discuss the lasting impact of Johns' run on modern Aquaman stories and why it remains the definitive starting point for new readers. If you're a fan of DC Comics, Aquaman, or comic book history, this is a discussion you won't want to miss.Thank you so much for watching and be sure to share the stream!
